___*TYPES*___
.
-a transverse wave is a ‘moving wave’ that consists of ‘oscillations’ occurring ‘perpendicular’ (or ‘right angled’) to the ‘direction’ of ‘energy transfer’-
.
(if a ‘transverse wave’ is moving in the ‘positive x-direction’, its ‘oscillations’ are in *’up’ / ‘down’ directions* that lie in the ‘y–z plane’)
(‘light’ is an example of a ‘transverse wave’)
(with regard to ‘transverse waves’ in ‘matter’, the ‘displacement’ of the ‘medium’ is ‘perpendicular’ to the ‘direction’ of ‘propagation’ of the ‘wave’)
.
(a *’ripple’ in a ‘pond’* + a *’wave’ on a ‘string’* are easily visualized as “transverse waves”)
